Not much room at battery terminals for accessories...

[mquetel]

I have a number of accessories requiring attachment directly to the positive terminals of the starter battery (winch, ARB dual, pass. compartment fuse block, camper wiring) and I'm finding real-estate there to be really tight. What have folks done to extend the terminals?

I was thinking about an option like this one, but it isn't diesel compatible due to other wiring harnesses.

[UPDATE] I called and talked to the owner of the company that makes the linked battery terminals. Great guy. He was pretty interested in the issue and asked me for detailed photos of the ecodiesel battery configuration, to see if a solution can be found. I'll update this thread as those discussions progress.

I found there is enough room beside the battery.

I’ve got like 4 accessories wired in, with fuses or circuit breakers. I affix the breakers with 3M trim tape.
Now, I don’t have any high-current devices connected, either.
But, contrary to what audio guys will say, a 10ga. wire is plenty for 30A. I’ve seen some guys running 4ga. wire for a device with an internal 25A fuse: it’s a waste of money.
